AI agents call provenonce_get_passport to retrieve information from Provenonce without modifying any data. This is common in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows where the agent needs context before taking action. Because read operations don't change state, they are generally safe to allow without restrictions -- but you may still want rate limits to control API costs.
Even though provenonce_get_passport only reads data, uncontrolled read access can leak sensitive information or rack up API costs. An agent caught in a retry loop could make thousands of calls per minute. A rate limit gives you a safety net without blocking legitimate use.
Read-only tools are safe to allow by default. No rate limit needed unless you want to control costs.

Get this agent's cryptographically signed Passport — a verifiable identity document any third party can verify offline using the Provenonce authority public key. Root agents (depth 0) require an active SIGIL; child agents (depth > 0) only need at least one heartbeat.. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Provenonce MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Provenonce MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for provenonce_get_passport: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Provenonce. Nothing to install.
provenonce_get_passport is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the provenonce_get_passport rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for provenonce_get_passport. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.
